The proposed bill enacts new sections 1345.15 through 1345.17 of the Revised Code, which mandate the disclosure of mandatory fees or surcharges in consumer transactions. It defines key terms such as "mandatory fees or surcharges," which refers to any additional fees required to purchase a good or service, and outlines the obligations of suppliers to clearly and conspicuously display total prices that include these fees. Specific provisions are included for various types of suppliers, including restaurants, hotels, and food delivery platforms, ensuring that consumers are informed about any automatic gratuities or additional costs associated with their purchases.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that certain fees, such as those related to motor vehicle purchases or utility services, are exempt from these disclosure requirements. Violations of the new sections are classified as unfair or deceptive acts, allowing the attorney general to enforce compliance using existing powers. The bill aims to enhance transparency in consumer transactions, ensuring that consumers are fully aware of the total costs they will incur when making purchases.
